Every vote to confirm Todd Blanche as attorney general is a vote to continue the coverup of the Epstein Files.

This is VERY bad. Congressional investigation immediately. They’re trying to use Palantir to figure out who you voted for. 0% chance this ends well. Stop it ASAP.

"You had the courage ... the courage to undertake Epic Fury. It takes guts" -- Pete Hegseth is doing tricks on that thing

Imagine devoting your life to public health, responding to two major pandemics, and then having to talk with these dipshits

BREAKING WSJ: The Trump admin plans to end a subsidy program that helped hold down premiums for Medicare drug plans — a move that could leave many seniors facing higher rates for their prescription coverage next year.

FYI there is no "real" reason why Rome "fell." Its power waned for the usual, mundane reasons: widening gap between rich and poor, inability to maintain infrastructure, incompetent leadership, pointless wars, endless persecution of marginalized groups who performed vital labor, etc.

Any "journalist" who goes to the White House Correspondents Dinner after Trump subpoenaed three New York Times reporters—simply for doing their jobs—should be ashamed. If, indeed, they have any shame.

Duckworth: "He appointed the most incompetent secretary of defense in our nation's history. All he seems to be worried about is testosterone levels in our troops instead of making sure that he actually has a plan to execute this mission in Iran and ending it before even more Americans get killed."

Duckworth on Hegseth announcing testosterone screenings for troops: "It sounds like gender affirming care to me, so I'm glad he's come around ... this is just more performative bullshit from the least qualified secretary of defense in our nation's history."

Massie: "I don't think the problem is that our elections aren't secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court. So I ask my Republican colleagues, why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the damn elections!"

Another "unprecedented" moment in the Trump 2.0 era A US Attorney General nominee has taken the oath for confirmation hearings at the Senate, 36 hours after a judge referred that nominee to the New York bar for disciplinary review

todd blanche even getting any sort of confirmation hearing is such a huge failure that I don't even know where to start, calling america a banana republic would be an insult to republics AND bananas

This is a terrific illustration -- for elected officials but also for media figures -- of the incredible power of simply refusing to take a bullshit dodge for an answer. Keep asking the question, over and over again, and make the weasels squirm.

They aren't claiming the officer feared for his life, but "feared for public safety" when Guerrero attempted to flee. But he was not the target of the warrant. Which means they had no reason to think he was dangerous. Fleeing an immigration stop does not make you a threat to public safety.
